can't cd to dir

[bonosa]

In matlab if I do at the command line:

testdir = 'c:\'

Then I do cd testdir, it says
??? Error using ==> cd
Cannot CD to testdir (Name is nonexistent or not a directory).

What am I doing wrong?

Of course if I just say cd C:\ it has no problem.
thanks,
sb

I did cd (testdir) and that worked. Is that whatyou meant I should do in your response?
thanks

You should read the help file. Parentheses will not work with folder names containing spaces.
